Go Zero: A Low Carbon Design Guide to empower a more sustainable future

The construction industry, a significant contributor to global carbon emissions, plays a critical role in shaping a more sustainable future. As architects, we understand that the choices made in designing, building, and maintaining spaces have far-reaching consequences. But armed with the latest insights and technology, we can now mitigate both the embodied and operational carbon impacts of projects to reduce their climate footprint.

Navigating the world of sustainable design can often feel overwhelming. The industry has developed a complex array of technical jargon and theories, making it difficult for many - particularly those at the start of a design process - to engage meaningfully with sustainability efforts. For investors, developers, and consultants, this often results in frustration or the assumption that sustainability is too difficult, expensive, or complicated to pursue.

Recognising this challenge, Warren and Mahoney has developed the ‘Go Zero’ Low Carbon Design Guide - a comprehensive, accessible resource to help stakeholders cut through the jargon and take practical steps toward reducing the environmental footprint of their projects.

The ‘Go Zero’ guide provides a clear, actionable framework for sustainable design, outlining:
 

• Why sustainable design matters, and why it’s critical to invest in it
• Practical design strategies that can be implemented in real-world projects
• Ways to measure and track carbon reductions
   

By breaking down the complexities of sustainable design, this guide serves as an essential tool for anyone in the design, development, and construction sectors. Our hope is that it will spark more conversations and inspire more action to design spaces that are innovative, beautiful and sustainable.
